If you attain relative independence at 10 K per month, it might be worth it.
Personally, I am a very independence-minded person and I am not sure what offer would I have to receive in order to drop my current business (with a lot of small customers, so not a single chokepoint) and become a cog in some big wheelhouse.
Experience of my peers (I am soon to be 45) says that big wheelhouses can sometimes collapse with alarming speed and once you get used to the putative safety, the aftereffects can break your family, your mind (one guy I knew really fell into a bad alcohol habit after being let go from a bank) etc.
